Duke Blue Devils

Rashad Jennings is going out with no regrets, confident he left everything on the field but with no team interested in his services.

The ex-Giant running back was released by the team in February announced his retirement Friday.

“I get to stop and remember the history of being a little 6-year-old kid, overweight, chubby, asthma; that he got to live his dream,” Jennings, the “Dancing with the Stars” winner last May, said before the media. “It’s not every day you can ask a kid at 6 years old and say, ‘What do you want to do when you get older?’ and you talk to him at 32 years old and he tells you that’s exactly what he’s been doing.
